The slee is a large 6 legged is a river-dwelling species that lives on Tarati. They have been domesticated and bred by tokis as transportation and companionship Most river-dwelling species on Tarati are monsterlike flesh-eating predatory eel things. But unusually, the Slee is quite friendly.
Appearance
A Slee is 5m from head to tail, twice as big as a toki. They have six legs, and on the ends of them they have two opposable toes which can walk or grasp objects. Their two eyes have horizontal slit-shaped pupils, which aids in peripheral depth perception.
Their tongue is 40cm long, and covered with hairs to extract sap from trees and honey from flowers.
A slee has an elongated snout with a crown of fins on the back of its head. Along their spine are another pair of frills, which can aid in swimming.
On their tail is a stretch of slightly transparent skin, which can be used like a rudder when swimming.
Diet
Slees are herbivores, feeding on plants, nectar, and fruit. They have no teeth; slees feed by swallowing objects whole or crushing food in their soft mouths. Their long tongue is perfect for getting sweet honey out of flowers, and they sometimes rip open the bark on a tree to lick up the sap inside.
Behaviour
A Slee is unusually friendly, but they can also be very clumsy. Do not leave any sweet things lying out in the open, especially near water. Make sure you keep a flame source nearby, as Slee are very afraid of fire.
